My mom is in the memory care of Dow Rummel Village. She started in an apartment in the assisted living area, which was a nice size with a bedroom and a bathroom, a little living area, and a kitchen area. And then after about a year, she was moved into the memory care unit, which is a little smaller. And the reason they do that is that they kind of forget where they're going and how to get around in a bigger room. So, she has a smaller room, but it's perfect for her. She's got a bathroom, an area for her couch and a TV, and then her bed. And the care is excellent. They've all been very, very good with her and she likes it there a lot. They have a big swimming pool. They do activities with them every day with like, exercise-type things. They have a nice exercise room. They have a community there where they have restaurants. You can go and sit at restaurants and eat with your loved ones if you want to. They have outdoor seating areas. People do their hair for them. The swimming pool and the workout area stuff are in the whole middle of the area. It's not in the market. So when we go to the memory care unit, that's all in the lockdown area. But they do exercises with them there. They have exercise activity time and they have a church there. They take them to church, they have a music area, they have concerts and stuff. They say my mom is very competitive.

My mother will be moving into Dow Rummel Village. They had the right program for my mom and it will fit all of her needs. It's a very well-kept, nice-looking facility and has an incredible number of amenities. The staff was very knowledgeable, very caring, and very thorough.

We looked at both assisted living and independent living in Dow Rummel Village. There's also one type they call Flex, it's in between where if you need more care, you can add that on like if the person needs help with meds. That's paid, I think, by the month so then you end up with a monthly total. As their client's age and they need more care, they just start to add on like if they need laundry services and so on. I kind of like that instead of having just one set fee and you go from assisted living to needing lots of health care, it jumps up a lot of money. This way you can add it incrementally. I think that's a good marketing device, that's good for the people. The staff members were wonderful people. They just took the time to listen to my parent's needs. My mother is very hard of hearing and the woman that helped us was very polite. We're just really happy with the staff that we met there. They have anything from 2-bedrooms to studios, and we looked at three different rooms. They're all very, very clean and well laid out. I thought they were very well thought out. They have a large pool, a workshop, and an art studio. They have a Main Street store, it's the main hallway that they call The Main Street. They have a very large dining room and a deli. Each floor has a little coffee shop on it with snacks and items. They have a very large meeting room that would be suitable for family get-togethers. It has a baby grand piano, a fireplace and is just really decorated nicely. The person that led the tour told us there were 40 items on the menu so it sounds like they have a pretty wide array of food. The deli is soup and salad, I believe, and fruits and things like that. We visited three different places and this one was the nicest.

I just moved my aunt at Dow Rummel in Sioux Falls. I was able to virtually tour it and we chose the place because they have an onsite physician so all her care could happen right there. They also have a lot of things for their memory care residents to do. It's practically a brand-new facility, so it's really nice. They have a swimming pool and a hot tub, and they have therapy that they can offer to their residents there. It's also very homey and comfortable, and they have this little nook for the residents to stop by. It's kind of a five and dime store. They have cereal boxes and things on the shelves, and if they want to go shopping they can do that. They have a controlled courtyard, so like a garden area with heated sidewalks underneath so they could still walk out on cooler months and to make sure there's no ice on the ground. They just have a really nice place and the whole unit is set up in a circle so there's no getting lost and they can just kind of walk laps. It seems like a very good place for her to go. She has a full-size bed and a side table. It's kind of like a studio apartment so there's not a full kitchen, of course, because it's the memory care, but there is a little dormroom size fridge so they can keep snacks or water and whatever they need. They have a little kitchenette. The bathroom is huge, it's big enough for wheelchair access if they need it. We didn't need to bring towels because those are provided. They have a way of emptying garbage and replacing things like toilet paper and paper towels from the outside of the room to her closet, which is really kind of cool. They have access to what they call a spa, they have one room where they have a walk-in tub, those tubs that you can walk-in and they seal them up and close them. She was very excited about them. The staff seemed really nice. They all came down and introduced themselves while we were moving her in. They seemed welcoming. What I like the most is the fact that it was very clean. They have housekeeping that goes into the rooms every day. They do the laundry and they're just everywhere, so the place didn't have that weird smell like how some places have because they're not well kept. It just felt like home. It's a big community and it's comfortable. I really can't say about the food though, but she said it's good and that they have cupcakes and ice cream in the afternoons, so she's really excited about that.

Let me start by saying, I am not one to post unflattering things about businesses. I realize not everyone has the same experience. My mother-in-law has lived here for about 6 years now. Its definitely an adjustment. We eat brunch with her every Sunday. They have a restaurant on site called Covells. The food for the most part is decent, but the food this Christmas was absolutely horrifying. Sunday brunches are so much better. My complaint is I've never in my life, with any restaurant been literally sick to my stomach. PLEASE NOTE, CHRISTMAS Dinner should be at utmost concern. Many of the residents can not go anywhere else. I'm so disappointed in that ugh lunch.

Dow Rummel Village was good and had a good living atmosphere. The workers seemed to be all good. I think it's a good, clean, and a safe environment. The activities are fine and it would be a good place to live.
